Nice to have feature.
by Edward Ing 08 Aug '02

I place the following feature request into the bug/feature/patch collector, but the submission failed. Anyways, I would like to have feed back from users here. It would be nice if path expressions could be the result of an expansion evaluation. If you could have a tag expression as follows: <span tal:replace="structure ${request/middle_section_template}">middle section to be replaced</span> where the value of the path request/middle_section_template is the path (and hence another level of indirection) this feature would make page layout more elegent. Right now I can acheive the same "late template binding" via python script. But the above feature would be nicer and more elegant. For instance if the following code is on my main application template page and I had two middle section templates, one for a corporate application form and one for an individual application form, one of which should be merged depending on a runtime variable of whether the user is applying for his company or for himself: I would like to be able to set, REQUEST.middle_section_template="container/CorporateFormPageTemplate", or set, REQUEST.middle_section_template="container/IndividualFormPageTemplate", depending on whether the user is a corporation or and individual. And then have the evaluation of the expression ${request/middle_section_templage} determine the replacement path. This seems like something easy to do, because in the page template string expression a similar evaluation is taking place.

re:[Zope] Developer ZEO setup: server and two clients on one machine, one for debugging?
by Chris Muldrow 08 Aug '02

You should be able to run your clients and your ZEO on different ports on the same IP address, so you don't really need any more than the one IP to make this work. Maybe make one zope run on port 80 and run your debugger on 8080, for instance. Chris muldrow(a)mac.com

Newbie questions: Calling PageTemplates from Python, and getting meta-info on ZSQL method results
by Leeuw van der, Tim 08 Aug '02

08 Aug '02

Hi, I've got a couple of newbie-questions. 1. I want to call a PageTemplate from a Python script, and pass in parameters. How can I access those parameters in the PageTemplate? 2. How can I find out the fields which are in the resultset of a ZSQL method, using either Python or PageTemplates? I do: SELECT * FROM employees. I know that the table employees contains the fields emp_id, first, last, salary so I can code for it. But it would be nices and more generic if I could infer from the resultset itself what fields it has, and to extract them dynamically instead of coded into the PageTemplate. That way I could make a generic PageTemplate that works for any ZSQL method result. 3. How do I install the MySQLdb driver on Win2k? The installer only finds my Python21 installation, and not my Zope installation and it doesn't give me the option to enter a directory manually. I don't have MSVC++ compilers installed, only gcc from cygwin, so I don't think that compiling it myself will work. Any hints from anyone? With thanks, --Tim

Unable to add Plone Site
by abg＠comco-inc.com 08 Aug '02

08 Aug '02

I've installed Plone 0.9.9 (with Zope 2.5.1, CMF 1.3, Python 2.1.3, Win2000), but am unable to add a "Plone Site" through the ZMI. The only Plone options that appear in the "Add Object" drop-down are "Plone Content" and "Plone Tool." The "Plone Site" option is conspicuously missing. Where am I going wrong? TIA, Aaron Gillette abg(a)comco-inc.com

Display problems
by McDonnell, Larry 08 Aug '02

08 Aug '02

Hi, I have come across a strange problem. I have created a Zope application to collect information through a Zope form. The input form works. I also give the users the ability to update. But I notice something strange. <tr> <td width="27%">Item Number Required:</td> <td width="73%"> <input type="text" name="item_num_required" size="50" value=<dtml-var item_num_required>> </td> </tr> When get the record only the first word in the field will appear. But if I use this - <tr> <td width="27%">Part Number Required:</td> <td width="73%"> <textarea name="part_num_required" rows="1" cols="50"><dtml-var part_num_required> </textarea> </td> </tr> I see the entire field using this method. Any thoughts?? Larry McDonnell Proton Energy Systems 50 Inwood Rd. Rocky Hill, CT 06067 (860) 571-6533 ext. 531 Email:lmcdonnell@protonenergy.com www.protonenergy.com
